Curated directly by the reviewer from the Eurostat Structure of Earnings Survey 2022 (dataset earn_ses22_21, mean monthly gross earnings of ISCO major group 1 managers across all industries, EUR, enterprises with 10 or more employees, total sex, 2022 vintage). The economy-wide managers pool shared by all executive cells; used because the NACE B-S managers cell is unpublished for this country in earn_ses22_48. MEDIAN-ONLY shape carrying a published MEAN; the 2022 vintage makes it a floor. SES monthly earnings exclude the customary extra payments (13th month and similar), so a full local package runs higher.

PORDATA table 3808, group 'Representantes do poder legislativo, orgaos executivos, dirigentes, diretores e gestores executivos' (legislators, executive organs, directors and executive managers), value for 2024: 3295.9 EUR, the highest paid of the published profession groups. Basis authority: 'ganho medio mensal' includes overtime, subsidies and premiums; GEP/MTSSS Quadros de Pessoal, data year 2024, updated 2026-01-06. The mean spans ALL seniorities of management from first-line supervisors to C-level, so it understates executive pay and overstates junior management pay; it anchors the senior row only. Same value applies conceptually to lead and executive but no level split is published, so those cells are left empty rather than duplicated. Single-figure convention, p25 and p75 set to 0.
